Introduction: The Masterpiece of the Quran Out of over 6,000 verses in the Quran, which one is the greatest? The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ confirmed that it is Ayat Al-Kursi (The Verse of the Throne - 2:255). It is not just a verse; it is a majestic description of Allah’s power and authority. Reciting it is like putting on a spiritual armor that no evil can penetrate.
Why is it the Greatest? It earned this title because it purely focuses on Tawheed (Monotheism) and Allah’s Attributes. It contains the "Ism Allah al-A'zam" (The Greatest Name of Allah) found in "Al-Hayy Al-Qayyum" (The Ever-Living, The Sustainer).
